Statistical theory

Statistical assumption

Statistics, like all mathematical disciplines, does not infer valid conclusions from nothing. Inferring interesting conclusions about real statistical populations almost always requires some background assumptions. Those assumptions must be made carefully, because incorrect assumptions can generate wildly inaccurate conclusions. Here are some examples of statistical assumptions: * Independence of observations from each other (this assumption is an especially common error). * Independence of observational error from potential confounding effects. * Exact or approximate normality of observations (or errors). * Linearity of graded responses to quantitative stimuli, e.g., in linear regression.

The Most Powerful Tool Based Entirely On Randomness

We see the effects of randomness all around us on a day to day basis. In this video we’ll be discussing a couple of different techniques that scientists use to understand randomness, as well as how we can harness its power. Basically, we'll study the mathematics of randomness. The branch

Hypothesis testing in statistics

Hypothesis testing is a form of statistical inference that uses data from a sample to draw conclusions about a population parameter or a population probability distribution. First, a tentative assumption is made about the parameter or distribution. This assumption is called the null hypoth

Check Your Assumptions – The Test Assumptions of Statistical Testing (8-12)

You know what happens when you assume? If your assumptions are wrong, it prevents you from looking at the world accurately. Parametric inferential statistics are built on certain assumptions about the data. And if those assumptions are violated, the conclusions based on those assumptions a

Check Your Assumptions for Hypothesis Testing: An Introduction (Week 16A)

If our assumptions are wrong, then any conclusions drawn from those assumptions will likely be wrong. Wrapping up Hypothesis Testing, we dive deeper into some ideas that are not in the textbook but are vital for real world analysis. First, we explore what it means to check the assumptions
